Sandy decided this looks like a promo shot of a new TV series, "Pioneer Wives."

or maybe, Real Housewives of the Ranch.

This is Ree. Hostess with the mostess. If you don't know Ree, please come out from under your rock now. If you are not living under a rock, I hope you get a chance to meet Ree someday. What you love about The Pioneer Woman blog, books, TV show, etc., you'll find tenfold in Ree herself. Genuine, generous, FUNNY, and can rock a pair of skinny jeans.{I'm not jealous about that last bit or anything.}

Sandy. Sandy is a-DOR-able and was my roomie for the weekend and I've decided that she needs to move her whole family to Texas from Oregon and be my next-door neighbor. (Too much to ask?) Sandy publishes the blog Reluctant Entertainer and has a bookof the same name. Her book really spoke to me...I AM a reluctant entertainer (entertaining means I have to mop the kitchen)...and made me look at entertaining differently.

Georgia. Miss Georgia. You've met Georgia and her book Girl Hunter here before. What can I say? Georgia kinda does it all. She's drop-dead gorgeous, hunts her own food, and is an exquisite cook. She also elevates the plaid shirt to high fashion. {photo credit for this and horse pic up top: Wendy}

Robyn. Robyn is a beautiful, southern lady. I've wanted to meet her for so long now...and really felt like I already had just through reading her posts. Robyn's blog, Add a Pinch, is full of easy, southern recipes that you'll want to add to your grocery list right now. I think I've pinned everything on her blog. Have I mentioned that all of these ladies are stunning? Truly....look at those eyes. {photo from Ree}

Amy. I've had the pleasure of hanging out with Amy on two different occasions. I remember before I met her the first time, I was so NERVOUS to meet the creator of She Wears Many Hats. I mean, this girl takes killer photos, makes killer recipes, all while maintaining killer hair and a gorgeous smile. Somehow I managed to come home with only this picture of Amy....we were the gingham twins for horse riding. Real cowboys wear gingham, right?

And now to Rebecca, our class leader. Rebecca homeschools 5 boys, bakes bread every day, makes her own cheese, and raises chickens. I think she even manages to slip in sleep every now and then. Seriously, I'm not sure how she does all that while managing to look elegant and maintaining the perfect side-swept bangs. I was so, so impressed with not only her cooking, but the way she is raising her boys. Her blog, Foodie with Family is a treasure. I love the way she writes!

I don't want to forget the local girls who came in for the day. Julie from Another Chance Ranch and Stephanie. I had the pleasure to meet both of these ladies at the cookie decorating class and LOVED seeing them again. They tolerate me even though I'm a Sooner.

Shari from Really Most Sincerely and her aunt came in for the day. Loved their aunt/niece story. Also, Shari was wearing Burt's Bees Raisin lip balm which looked so beautiful on her, I ran out about bought it the next day. She wears it better.

And then, there's Meseidy from The Noshery. The girl can COOK, y'all. She's also funny as heck. You need to know her.

I brought cookies. And was so nervous about being there, I forgot to pass them out. Instead I opened the box and set them on a table. The heart is supposed to be over Pawhuska, but Pawhuska isn't *quite* that big. MM assured me I had covered Osage County. ;)

What a wonderful post, Bridget! It sounds and looks as though it was an incredible experience, and I`m (dare I say) so envious! I`d love to meet all of you ladies someday. Perhaps Ree will host a cake-baking weekend in the near future. ;) Thanks so much for sharing!

OK, thought I just left a comment + then I started talking to a friend and think I forgot to hit publish. So here goes round 2. LOVE this post. You gals are all beauties and it is apparent that time at the ranch is a TOTAL BLAST!! Girl you rock the gingham, and well ~ everything! How true is that ~ Wenderly / hottie/ Kathleen Turner!! Ree is the Hostess with the Mostess!Thanks for sharing this experience with us! XO

OMG - SO JEALOUS! I love Ree and started reading her blog about a month after she very first started it. I have been living vicariously through her for a long time now; her life kinda makes me wish I had stayed in Oklahoma when I lived there! I have watched with awe and happiness as her life has changed, and yet she has not changed at all. It couldn't have happened to a nicer gal. I am so happy for you that you got to go! Memories of a lifetime. Did you get to meet the Marlboro Man? Please take me with you next time - I know all the songs from Grease!!

I read about this on PW's blog. I thought I would be reading about glorious cheese, and ended up getting all teary as I read about Julie being united with her blogging friends who had supported her in her time of need. Gotta love your girl friends! Your cookies are super cute BTW.

I KNEW where you were even before the first pic fully loaded =) And I'm totally jealous that I didn't get to join y'all. I know I'm not even half as qualified as the ladies in that posse but it would be like hangin' with celebrities. Exceptwith way more laughter & food and way less drama & botox ;-) xoxo
